What kind of wine it is

Misco by Tenuta di Tavignano is a white wine produced in the Marche region from Verdicchio grapes. Classified as Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore, it expresses a fresh and clean character, supported by a typical bitter finish. Stainless steel maturation and subsequent bottle rest define a crisp and fruity profile, accompanied by subtle floral and spicy notes.

Where it comes from

This white wine hails from Tavignano, within the province of Macerata. The "Classico" designation places its origin in the historic area of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi, a land ideally suited to this grape variety. The local features allow the Verdicchio to fully express its potential, guaranteeing a clear sense of geographical identity together with pronounced precision and freshness.

How it is produced

Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to ensure a smooth fermentation and aromatic clarity. The wine then matures for six months in steel, preserving the primary notes. Before distribution, it rests for at least six months in the bottle, a stage that harmonizes the taste components, stabilizing the structure and maintaining essential balance.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it reveals a bright straw yellow color. The nose opens with aromas of ripe fruit, acacia, and citrus, enriched by a touch of star anise. On the palate, it is fresh and smooth, with a progression consistent with the scents perceived on the nose. The tasting concludes with a bitter finish, a touch that adds liveliness to the drink without ever weighing it down.

Food pairings

At the table, it pairs easily with fish dishes, where its freshness balances richer textures. It also complements white meat dishes, supporting flavorful preparations. In the Marche tradition, it is suggested with a brodetto from the Adriatic or rabbit "in porchetta", as it enhances aromas and spices with its tidy counterbalance.

When to serve it

This white is suitable for those seeking a technically precise sip capable of accompanying structured menus. Thanks to its balanced ageing, it shows clear definition right from opening. Its refreshing acidity and characteristic bitter note make it a reliable choice with lunches or dinners featuring both delicate and richly flavored courses.
